5ktq electrical issues update...

[Cody Forbes]

I'd dissagree that it gets worth with revs. If I try to let it idle it just
shuts off usually when its having its issues. Regulator has also been
replaced. O2 sensor shouldn't be messing with it as I have EGO correction
disabled and also I can lean out the mixture as much as I want and the car
still misses. Battery is constantly being topped up on the charger every
time I park the car, and plus the car is charging it to 13.8v as long as
theres no accessories on.
